Damn Previous owners

Picked up a 84 firebird for 300 dollars, they guy was like it leaks a little oil from the main seal, ha a little oil, i lost 3 quarts in 2 miles, turns out it was the plug on the oil pressure sender was lost or missing, got a new one and its all good. i'm striping the car and the bondo down to bare metal for a drag car, and plan for a 383 with nitrous for it in the future.
